I lost track of how many feeds ages ago. I love what I’m reading over at Guidewire (Carla’s site which she listed above). Drama 2.0’s blog is hilarious, but I find his articles over at e-consultancy even more interesting. Many of the “company” blogs that do more than just blog about their product are really interesting, which is why I still read the AllPeers blog, as well as Nova Spivack’s blog and a bunch of others.

I’m also finding some really interesting stuff on Twine, which gives me a wide variety of new reading about focused topics.

Tick… Tick… Tick… time is running out on this bubble and the people standing outside it blowing hot air in

I’m still a frequent Twitter user, but at the same time, When Scott Beale posted last night that there was a rumor that the latest Mac update was breaking SSH, I realized it was probably the first TRULY useful information I’d ever found via Twitter. IN A YEAR. I still don’t like it. I’m there, but not enjoying myself. It makes the fast pace of 2.0 blogs LOOK like thoughtful analysis.

The case in point is the entire PR industry that surrounds Web 2.0. PR reps fall all over themselves to get coverage on the big blogs, even though they break embargo time and time again to ensure they get the biggest headline out of it. It becomes expected, but you never see a PR firm taking their news somewhere else first.

@Carla I’m sorry, I think I nearly busted my gut laughing at the idea of “thoughtful analysis” ever being popular. There’s very little of that going on right now in the constant fight to get to the story first. Sometimes I’m writing something that takes a couple of weeks to gestate, but a lot of the time I feel like I’m the only one who actually takes the time to let things sink in. My Firefox never has fewer than three lines of tabs that I go back to as if they are puzzle pieces waiting to fall into place, but I’m thinking there is less and less room for that type of critical thinking and writing in this space.
